Umm, I would have to say either get a lot of sleep the night before OR go to your local pharmacy and pick up a bottle of vitamin B. Just remember not to take well over the recommended amount because it can cause Nerve Damage 8)

If you don't drink coffee then that, or anything that contains a good dose of caffeine. I made the dumb mistake of consuming lots of it starting 2 years ago and now it doesn't wake me up at all.

Now, I just listen to music and don't turn it off for even a seccond. Anything to keep your mind occupied and your body in motion.

Yea, but not for long. A cold shower does a better job.

About how long will cold water on the face last compared to a cold shower? I wonder what makes cold water wake people up.

It's the cold, not the water :P

I don't know exactly how it works but - cold wakes you up, warm makes you drowsy!

The difference with the cold shower is that your whole body will be cold, and will continue to be cold when you get out of the shower, were as a quick splash or two wont last. Thats how it works with me, don't know if it's the same for everyone.

Almost forgot: I don't know how much longer the effect will be. Never really kept track of the time.

Actually I fall asleep quicker being cold, can make me sleep for hours. If you don't have any energy drinks then I suggest Coffee or Tea, yes tea does work for me because I'm not much of a fan of coffee. lol

No idea, I'm simply good at it. I stay awake for about 48 hours every time I'm awake now before heading to bed for only 6 hours. How do I do this? I really don't know, might be all the soda I drink, or it might just be because I do hardly anything and thus my body doesn't need very much rest.

If caffeine affects you, then you should probably just drink soda with caffeine or coffee. When I had to pull all-nighters back in high school, I used to take 4 tea bags and boil it down to almost nothing. It was DISGUSTING, but it did the job. I was kind of queasy the rest of the day though lol. I really don't suggest doing that, but eat something beforehand if you do.

Get up and move every so often, even if just for a quick stretch. Eat/drink something, preferably with sugar, thats what helps me stay awake.

Hmm, just whatever is for dinner, some microwavable food whenever I am hungry, and a ton of soda.
